"Morris Berman, American historian, cultural theorist, and sociologist,
is a starry eyed realist whose grim forecast of American demise makes
him alone even in leftist circles. In the brilliant trilogy of books on
American decline — “Twilight of American Culture,” “Dark Ages of
America,” and “Why America Failed” — he surveys the political
dysfunction, economic disrepair and cultural decay of modern America."

An interesting perspective.  Via Susan Stone.
